<< Where and how do [ducks] live? >>
The primary location to find ducks is near the Upland Marsh in Sartar, the area which includes Duck Town. They are also found further afield, in Kethaela and Wenelia. They prefer rivers and coastal areas, and most of their home-produced food comes from fishing and from gathering water plants, although they do have herdsmen too, according to the RQ Creatures Book. Although I suspect most Gloranthans just call them 'ducks', their proper name is 'durulz'.
To complicate matters slightly, there are also the keets, at least some of whom are biologically the same species as the ducks, but who have quite a different culture. The keets currently dwell only in the East Isles.
<<Whom do they worship?>>
The ducks are Orlanthi, worshipping the same gods and having a rather similar culture. Presumably they venerate some fishing god rather more than Barntar or the grain goddesses, but they don't really have a pantheon of their own. As they aren't exactly noted for their Orlanthi virtues, they probably put a different slant on some of the myths.
Since each of the East Isles has a god, and at least some islands are predominantly inhabited by keets, in that sense there are unique Keet deities, although they are still part of the Vithelan pantheon.
<< Whom do they serve or do they stand alone?>>
It depends on the particular community. The Sartarite ducks are one of the 'tribes' of that kingdom, and just as much a part of it as the human inhabitants, albeit rather despised and laughed at by their neighbours.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
